Hi, Ed.  Here is some pricing info from "British Car" magazine (dtd
dec'97-Jan'98).
It's for a Tiger 1 1964-1965

Condition     E                D                 C               B
A

Price        8000           12000           15000        20,000       25,000

Definitions:
A Completely restored to showroom or better condition.  95-100 points 

B Excellent restoration to non-original or good older resto.  Non-concours

C Good recreational driving car, very clean unrestored original or good
amateur  restoration.  From 20ft. away looks like a show car.

D Running car with good body and most original components.  May need work
(repainting or engine rebuilding).

E  Project car with all components intact.  Little rust or damage but needing
exterior restoration.

Suggest you call the magazine and get a copy of the DEC97/JAN'98 Issue.  It
has some other articles on the Sunbeam as well as an overview and good and bad
points. (I could fax you the one page Sunbeam Buyers Guide if you'd like). You
can get a copy of the magazine for $5 by calling (800) 520-8292.  Any other
questions - come back to me.  (What ever you do be sure to use Water Wetter -
:-). Cheers.
